What's New for the 2026 Nissan Sentra?
The 2026 Nissan Sentra returns with a complete redesign that gives it a bold, modern personality. Its refreshed exterior stands out with sleek LED headlights and a reimagined grille that adds a touch of sophistication. Inside, the cabin feels more refined, offering upgraded materials and the latest tech innovations-highlighted by available dual 12.3-inch displays for both infotainment and driver information.
Although the Sentra continues to use a similar powertrain, Nissan has improved its transmission and suspension tuning for a smoother, more responsive drive. Another exciting addition is the availability of ProPILOT Assist, a driver-assistance feature that helps with steering, braking, and maintaining a safe following distance on the highway.
What Are the 2026 Sentra Trims & Features?
The 2026 Sentra lineup includes four trims-S, SV, SR, and SL-each offering impressive value. The base S trim now comes with a larger 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, replacing last year's smaller version, while Nissan's Zero Gravity front seats continue to deliver lasting comfort on long journeys.
Step up to the SV trim for extra convenience, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The SR trim takes on a sportier attitude with eye-catching exterior accents and athletic design details.
At the top of the range, the SL trim focuses on premium comfort. Highlights include TailorFit quilted seats, a high-quality Bose eight-speaker audio system, and a sunroof that adds an airy, upscale feel.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Sentra Have?
Under the hood, the 2026 Sentra is powered by a dependable 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 149 horsepower. This setup delivers a great balance of efficiency and everyday performance. The updated Xtronic continuously variable transmission enhances both smoothness and fuel economy, while the available Sport mode sharpens the driving experience for a more engaging feel.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Sentra Include?
Safety remains a strong point for the 2026 Sentra, which comes standard with Nissan Safety Shield 360. This suite includes Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Prevention, and Traffic Sign Recognition. Every Sentra also comes with a rearview camera, while the available Intelligent Around View Monitor provides a 360-degree perspective. For the first time, Blind Spot Intervention joins the lineup to help you avoid side collisions.
